US 2019/0102274 A1 · Utilization Metrics for Processing Engines

Abstract

In an embodiment, a processor includes multiple processing engines and a power control unit. The power control unit is to: maintain a first utilization metric for a first processing engine; detect a thread transfer from a first processing engine to a second processing engine; and generate, using the first utilization metric for the first processing engine, a second utilization metric for a second processing engine. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
